Chapter 251: So stingy
Everything was ready here, and Father Liu drove the mule cart down the slope.
After sending them to the car, Liu's mother advised worriedly: "The first three months are critical. Don't do heavy work. Pick up some light work to do and don't tire yourself out."
Chu Xue also said: "Don't worry about home, I will come to see you later."
I thought of something: "Wait for me for a moment."
After saying that, he quickly ran into the yard.
After returning to the house and closing the door, he flashed into the space, quickly picked up some apricots, deliberately soaked them in the pond water, then took them out and shook off the water on them. He came out and directly took a small basket that Liu's father had just woven, poured the apricots into it, and quickly ran down the slope: "Sister, I took the time to pick these yesterday, you can take them back."
Seeing what was inside, Xia Qiu was even more moved: "You were so busy yesterday, how come you still took care of this."
"That place isn't too far away. I thought you might have to leave today, so I went there."
Mother Liu glanced at the sky and said, "Okay, it's getting late, let's go."
Father Liu flicked the whip on the ground and shouted "Go!", and the mule cart slowly left.
After watching the mule cart go away, the mother and daughter returned to the courtyard: "Mom, which families do you want to thank? I'm going to go to the pond and catch some fish as a thank you gift."
Mother Liu counted on her fingers: "Your Party Secretary's grandfather's family, the village chief's family, your uncle Liangzi's family, Aunt Cuihong's family, and the Li family at the old house, the Yu family who helps us choose the date, your old uncle Wu's family who looks after the place, and yes, your uncle Xinmin's family. His wife asked the children to send back the money we asked them to help with the wiring. And then there's your Seventh Master's family, but she can just send cooked fish."
Chu Xue nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go up the mountain and be back soon."
Mother Liu warned, "Be sure to pay attention to safety. If you can't catch it, I can steam some sugar triangles and send them over. Do you hear me?"
Chu Xue responded, "I understand."
He threw a small sack into the backpack and then left the yard.

On the other side, Liu's father accompanied his daughter and son-in-law to the gate of the courtyard.
After Qiu Shaofeng helped his wife out of the car, he said, "Dad, come in and rest your feet before you leave."
Father Liu waved his hand and said, "No, you guys go in, I have to hurry back to clean up."
Hearing the noise, Mr. and Mrs. Qiu came out and said, "Oh, our in-laws are here. Come in and sit down."
Father Liu waved his hand and said, "It's time for you to go to work. I won't go in. I have to go back and clean up."
Seeing that he didn't want to stay, Father Qiu stepped forward to help him turn the mule cart around and asked: "How is your leg recovering?"
Father Liu patted his thigh and said, "It's nothing, but Chuxue still stopped me from doing heavy work, saying that I should wait for a while before letting her recover."
"Your Chuxue is a person with her own ideas. It's always right to listen to your children."
The two families exchanged a few pleasantries, and then Father Liu said hello to Xia Qiu and the others, then drove away in the mule cart.
As soon as the mule cart left, Zhang Shanmei came up to him and said, "Sister-in-law, I can smell the fragrance in your backpack from a long distance away. What did I bring for you?"
Since Huo Yancheng sent her back last time, the people in the first house have restrained themselves a lot. Now that her parents' life is better, she does feel more confident: "We just built a house, how can we bring any good things to me? My sister-in-law really likes to joke around."
As soon as she finished speaking, Qiu Shaofeng picked up the backpack and said, "Wife, it's been a bumpy ride. Come inside and rest for a while."
After saying that, he supported Xia Qiu and walked towards the room where they lived.
Zhang Shanmei was very angry at their attitude: "How petty."
